Statute Law Revision

flogen

I'm sure plenty of people are aware of the Statute Law Revision, and it was mentioned in the Dail yesterday (and as a result some of the papers today).

So far only legislation between 1200 and 1800 has been looked at, with 1801-1922 coming up soo, but apparently 206 acts have so far been repealled by the review... does anyone know if there's a website etc. where you can view the repealled act or even a way to order a copy of it? I'd say it would be interesting to see what kind of obselete legislation the country had up until recently..

There are two curent projects The Pre-Independence Project which is currently dealing with the older and generally more obsolete acts first and then will move onto 1800-1922 acts and the Restatements Porject dealing with more modern acts that have been revised multiple times through amendments and amendments to amendments, etc., but need to be tidied up.
